Global satellite communications specialist IEC Telecom, along with mobile-satellite service provider Thuraya, introduced its Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK), designed to provide Humanitarian Response Teams with reliable connectivity during COVID-19 and support emergency and disaster relief efforts even in the most remote areas.

RDK is a technological breakthrough, powered by Thuraya broadband terminals and the OneGate Aid Compact network management system from IEC Telecom. The new solution provides field missions with a VSAT-like experience anywhere they go. RDK is equipped with bandwidth optimisation and advanced filtration tools, offering a user experience up to 2+ Mbps, which allows taking full advantage of digitalisation, including videoconferencing, remote maintenance, telemedicine, and more for smooth communications during critical humanitarian missions.
